Father Michael Pfleger controversy

Posted in Catholic News, catholic church, tagged , , , on May 31, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Here is a video I found on youtube that features Father Pfleger, who has been in the news recently for the controversial statements he made at Barack Obama’s Church. He is the most protestant Priest, in terms of his preaching style, that I have ever seen. Father Pfleger adheres to black liberation [...]

Sin and Salvation Part One

Posted in Apologetics, Bible, tagged , , , , on May 31, 2008 | No Comments »

 
Sin… The downfall of mankind… Sin brought death, disease, wars, famine and all sorts of problems to the world. Some Christians wrongly think that sin can no longer do them any harm since they “believe” in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Having Jesus as your Lord and savior in a personal way [...]

Archbishop Naumann and Kathleen Sebelius

Posted in Abortion, Catholic News, catholic church, tagged , , , , on May 30, 2008 | No Comments »

I have been wanting to write something regarding the situation in Kansas, where dissident Catholic governor Kathleen Sebelius has been told to refrain from partaking of communion. Archbishop Naumann is another leader of the Church that I applaud for defending the truth of the Catholic faith.
Some may see this as a negative move on the part of [...]

Posted in Catholic News, catholic church, tagged , , , on May 29, 2008 | No Comments »

These days you don’t hear about excommunications a whole lot, but they still happen and the Vatican has upheld several in St. Louis. Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis had previously excommunicated  dissident trustees of a St. Louis parish.
 The parish had hired a priest who had been suspended in another Dioceses. This is itself is not normal, as priests [...]

Orthodox Bishop partakes in Catholic Communion

Posted in Catholic News, catholic church, tagged , , on May 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I found this interesting article in which a Romanian Orthodox  bishop asked and received communion at a Byzantine Catholic Church. Evidently this has caused quite a stir in the Romanian Orthodox Church which has had shaky relations with the Catholic Church.
Hopefully this act may lead to further dialogue which may help in one day re-unifying [...]

Bibles Burned in Israel

Posted in Bible, Catholic News, tagged , , on May 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »

In some disturbing news out of Israel, apparently hundreds of New Testaments were torched in Israel’s city of Or-Yehuda. This act was reported to be a response to aMessianic Jewish movement that had been distributing them but these actions also impacts Catholics and other Christians who make pilgrimages to Israel.
This act also brings back the horrible memories of Nazi book burnings that [...]

My creative side got the better of me over the weekend. I purchased some software to design a new logo for the blog. After a few tries I finally think I got it right. Who knows… I may change it a few more times before long!
Update: Okay I changed it slightly again after seeing it [...]

Reflection on todays readings regarding the Eucharist

Posted in Apologetics, Bible, Jesus Christ, catholic church, tagged , , , , , on May 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »

As the Eucharist is a key distinguishing doctrine that separates Catholics and Protestants, today’s readings at Mass drive home the importance of the doctrine. Let us look at the readings individually and then try to tie them together.
The first reading: Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a
Moses said to the people:
“Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your [...]

St. Cyprian of Carthage- Letter to Cornelius of Rome

Posted in Apologetics, Early Church Fathers, catholic church, tagged , , , on May 25, 2008 | No Comments »

Here is an excerpt from St. Cyprian of Carthage’s Letter to Cornelius of Rome. This offers yet another proof of Rome as the Chair or throne of Peter. Cyprian also refers to the Roman church as the “chief” Church! This is just another insight into the early Church. The letter was written in the middle [...]
